There’s no better way to destroy a country than to turn its citizens into faceless nameless automatons fearful of doing or saying the wrong thing.  Dress them all the same, take away their individuality.

It worked for Mao and Stalin and Pol Pot and legions of dictators since the beginning of time.  They knew that if you could condition people to depend upon the state and state-run media for the approved party line, if you could convince them to believe only state-approved ideas, they would be putty in your hands.

Now, after decades of trying, the Democrats have figured out how to this to millions of Americans.

Term limits for politicians has been a popular idea with conservatives, libertarians and even some liberals and progressives (though fewer these days) for some time.

But more important, I would argue, are term limits for the government bureaucracy.  At least politicians can be voted out. Unelected bureaucrats go on and on and on and, in many ways, end up running our lives.

All the while, the bureaucracy, aka the Deep State, has been reaching new heights (or lows), in essence taking over the country, as for example, with Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Dying from what? you may ask.  From "misinformation," which means only information they don't want you to access, information that might be the actual truth and conflict with the administration's fear-mongering agenda.

Psaki actually bragged in her White House press conference that the administration is "working with" social media — Facebook — to censor such misinformation.

We should all be very afraid, for they are coming for us.  Indeed, they are.  As Psaki inadvertently revealed, they have a list, and it is likely that all those who love this nation and fear this administration's rapid shift to Communism are on it.

Recently China has sought to ramp up its now accustomed bullying and intimidation of the Western world, still reeling from a Chinese-born coronavirus.  Yet its new global badgering is as much predicated on its potential as it is on its actual power, at least in classical terms of a global hegemon.

Indeed, it is uncanny how closely China and the US resemble the relative global status of, and relationships between, Imperial Japan and America circa 1938-40. As now, the first Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere was a thin veneer masking Japanese inherent weakness: constitutional weakness, fuel and food weakness, economic weakness, strategic and military weakness.

So here’s why Communist China has feet of clay.

Yesterday (7/21), Newsweek’s lead headline was: WHO Warns of Deadlier Variants Taking World Back to 'Square One' of Pandemic.

For a few months a lot of people were convinced that humanity’s efforts to defeat COVID were being successful, and many believed that the pandemic would soon be behind us for good.  But now the “Delta variant” is spreading like wildfire all over the globe, with an endless succession of further variants promised to follow.

This is prompting national governments around the world to institute a new wave of restrictions and lockdowns.  This promises to push the world economy into another major downturn during the second half of 2021 that is can in no way afford.

A Sign of the Past?

By now everyone with two working brain cells knows, or pretends not to know, that Democrats cheated on a colossal scale to get Whispern' Joe into the White House.  So it's safe to say that Republicans, having wised up to the Donks' stratagems and skullduggery, will capture both House and Senate in next year's midterms.  Right?  Yes.

That is, assuming elections actually take place on November 8, 2022.

Who doubts that Democrats, with a death grip on power now, are capable of anything to keep Pelosi and Schumer on top and Biden's cabal in the White House calling the shots?  Well, in a takeaway from those absconding Dem Texas legislators, you can't be defeated if you don't show up for the game.

The Woke Capitalists of the World Economic Forum have declared war on the petroleum industry with the excuse of “climate change.”  The vehicle they use is a corporate rating system called ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance) which has been characterized as the Road to Global Fascism.  It’s a war they will lose.

Let’s start with the obvious: Oil is the world’s most important fuel, supplying 35% of all energy and over 95% of transportation needs. More than 6,000 everyday products contain oil as their core ingredient.

Simply put, oil has no significant substitute, and it won’t for a long time.

Nations have often gone mad in a matter of months.  In the last six months, we have seen absurdities never quite witnessed in modern America. Madness, not politics, defines it.

There are three characteristics of all these upheavals. One, the events are unsustainable. They will either cease or they will destroy the nation, at least as we know it. Two, the law has largely been rendered meaningless. Three, left-wing political agendas justify any means necessary to achieve them.

Let’s discuss just what is happening to us at this moment of national madness.

More than 530 peaceful Trump supporters have now been arrested for their unauthorized tour of the Capitol on January 6. The incomparable Julie Kelly has covered in grueling detail their arrests, indefinite detainment, and the cruelty with which they’ve been treated by the federal government.

Many of these protesters have been arrested by the FBI, a once-revered federal law enforcement entity that at one point might have deserved your respect.

It doesn’t anymore. Here’s why.

America has faced great challenges during the past year and a half: the CCP virus, deep political division, and the aggression of communist China. How have our teachers’ unions responded to these challenges?

So dismally, so anti-American and anti-children, that to ask if they have become evil is rhetorical.  Here is a brief summary of why.

Why can’t the Biden Administration support oppressed people taking enormous risks for their freedom from socialism?

The reason is simple. The Cubans are protesting against socialism and not in favor of it.

What honest Biden Administration official or compliant D.C. bureaucrat would risk antagonizing a broad swath of the Democrat Party by suggesting that socialism is a source of, rather than a solution to, any form of oppression, let alone the immense oppression Cubans suffer with scant sympathy from Washington?

Demanding “liberty” and telling their government “We are not afraid,” angry protestors in at least 32 Cuban cities and many smaller municipalities have marched to demand an end to the island nation’s six-decade old communist regime.

The Michigan Senate Oversight Committee’s recent report on the 2020 election is a classic whitewash – a feel-good exercise designed to sweep problems under the rug so politicians can shift their attentions to other issues.

The report purports to be the by-product of an exhaustive investigation, but the committee is counting on the public – and credulous journalists – to skim through it uncritically, if they read it at all during our Pure Michigan summer.

For example, the committee is remarkably uncurious about the sudden delivery of tens of thousands of absentee ballots to the TCF Center around 3:30 a.m. on November 4 – all with no chain of custody.

The New Testament's Book of Revelation has long puzzled and inspired biblical scholars as to the meaning of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.  Most agree that they represent four catastrophes that will befall humanity during the "end times."

The White Horse's rider carries a bow and wears a crown.  He is generally thought to symbolize Conquest.  Fast-forward to today, and consider the work of George Soros.

The Red Horse is, appropriately, the general secretary of China, Xi Jinping, leader of the Chinese Communist Party.  The Red Horse is said to represent War, with its bloodshed, murder, and revolution.

Bill Gates and his acolytes like Anthony Fauci could very well be riders of the Black Horse of Famine. The rider of the last horse, the Pale Horse, is Death.  Joe Biden represents Death in two ways; his own mental and physical deterioration and the death of America.

Victimizers quickly becoming victims is a recurrent theme of Thucydides’ history. In his commentary on the so-called stasis at Corcyra, he offers his most explicit warning about the long-term dangers of destroying legal institutions, customs, and traditions that serve the common good for short-term gain.

The historian notes that in the inevitable yin and yang of politics, the destroyers inevitably will seek, but do so in vain, refuge in what they have destroyed. Between 2017 and 2021 the Left has done exactly that.

The Left is well on its way to incurring a pushback in 2022 comparable to 2010, with the potential to make the Tea Party boomerang seem like small stuff. And the difference this time around is that there are no customs, no traditions left in treatment accorded a political opponent in office.

According to data released by Education Week, America’s government-run schools lost almost 1.3 million students this year. (Delaware, Illinois, and North Carolina didn’t supply enrollment statistics, so the true number is probably somewhat higher.)

While undoubtedly some of the “missing” kids will return when schools open their doors in August and September, to be sure many will not. And for those who don’t, increasing numbers will have more choices than ever.

Those choices portend an end to teachers union bullies and toady school boards controlling our kids’ education.

The immediate answer is: We just don't know.  The Founding Fathers did not write up a "what if" in the Constitution to make things right.  The Founding Fathers wrote up nothing in the Constitution in case mail-in ballots or the internet were used to manipulate the vote.

The scary part is that since the answer to possible election fraud appears not to be in the Constitution, nor in federal law, nor in federal court cases, then the answer-the remedy will come from somewhere else. That somewhere else, we know not.  But probably not from the words within the US Constitution.

So much of this is conjecture.  Let’s start with what we do know.

Joe is worried about the Delta variant of Covid.  His health experts tell him it’s more transmissible than the original.  Yet he continues to encourage a flood of illegal untested aliens across our southern border.

If Delta is not dangerous, he has an excuse on the border.  If it is, he doesn’t.  He can’t have it both ways.  But then, having it both ways is what Democrats always demand.

Our best minds have spoken

Why is no connection being made between a massive vaccination program intended to reduce or prevent the spread of infections and the fact that cases are said to be skyrocketing. The vaccines are extravagantly touted as reliable antitoxins; at the same time the disease apparently continues to surf from wave to wave and variant to variant.

Because beneath the veneer of civilization, in essence we are as primitive and credulous as our stone age ancestors. Magic, not reason, remains the psychological default.

Amulets and incantations will keep us safe, and the practice of exorcism will banish the evil spirit that has possessed us.  We are in thrall to the Vaccine Voodoo Cult.

This Fourth of July holiday was a time to pause and ask ourselves how we collectively lost our minds over the last 15 months—and are we yet regaining any semblance of our sanity?

To answer, let’s discuss in turn how to go to the chaos of daily living, followed by the madness of Biden policies and politics, and lastly, the joy of our foreign enemies over our madness.

There could be no better place to celebrate America’s independence than beneath this magnificent, incredible majestic mountain monument to the greatest Americans who have ever lived.

Today we pay tribute to the exceptional lives and extraordinary legacies of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt.

We gather tonight to herald the most important day in the history of nations, July 4th, 1776.

Russia and China are typically lumped together as the two new challengers to the role of Western countries in Africa. They are certainly that, but they are pursuing rather differing strategies and, thus, are virtually certain to find themselves at odds in the future.

For the present, these two approaches may not be completely at odds; however, in the longer term, they are prone to be, with Russia having to accept a role subordinate to China in Africa or give up its current relationships with African countries.

That is not something President Vladimir Putin is likely to be happy about and may even become an increasing source of conflict between Moscow and Beijing.

It’s shaping up to be a long, hot summer, one filled -- like Yellowstone Park -- with geysers and hot springs ready to blow at any moment. But these are political eruptions, not nature's fury.

If I didn’t know that God has things under control I’d be terrified, but in the interest of keeping track of the truth let’s list the top 10 political eruptions we can expect to blow sometime soon.  We’ll from 10 down to Number 1.  So let’s start with…

What Lee Ermey thinks of Mark Milley

[Note by Jack Wheeler: I have known Mike Waller for over 30 years.  What he has written here is the clearest exposé of the essence of Wokeism, and how we save our military from it.  Please consider sending this to all you know.]

Wokeness might do to the American military what no foreign enemy ever could: Fracture the world’s greatest armed forces from within, through divisive political indoctrination and controls.

Wokeness itself isn’t an ideology, however. It isn’t critical race theory. It’s a behavioral system of dictatorial political and cultural control.

This is the wokeness that General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, denies he is imposing throughout our armed forces.

Mitt Romney prides himself on being a thorn in President Trump's side, but he is just a gnat buzzing about the Leftmedia that now revere him.  He's become a joke but has yet to realize it.

Romney wins the prize among the pathetic group of RINOS who think they can vanquish Trump by treating him and his supporters like pond scum.  The problem with the Left and the RINOS is that they assume, with no hint of irony, that they are smart and the rest of us are not.

Actually, it is they who are blinkered to the point of blindness. Romney is the saddest of the lot, as he demonstrated on CNN day before yesterday (6/27).

There can be little doubt the United States is now in a contest with China over which will be the most important country in the world.

In important respects, we are replicating the German challenge to England prior to World War I and the renewed German challenge of the 1930s, or the Soviet challenge for 45 years after World War II.

As China grows stronger and bolder, and especially as the United States fumbles its way through periods of great distraction and internal political strife, the Chinese—like Hitler—become more brazen and provoking.  Time is short to do something smart about it.

Woke BLM ladies are so oppressed

There are lots of reasons why wokeism spread like wildfire once America lost its collective mind during the pandemic, quarantine, self-induced recession, and rioting of 2020.

Wokeism was never really about racism, sexism, or other -isms. Instead, for some, it illustrated a psychological pathology of projection: fobbing one’s own concrete prejudices onto others in order to alleviate or mask them.

Joe Biden about every two weeks lectures America on its racism. And he unleashed the bureaucracies of the federal government to root out mythical white supremacist conspiracies.

No Washington politico has compiled a longer record of racialist put downs than Joe Biden. So apparently, the more Biden hunts for a white racist under every bed, the less necessary it becomes to look in his own mirror.

[Note:  Vivek Ramaswamy is an American-born self-made biotech billionaire at age 35. What this  American patriot has to say is true must-read.]

I used to think corporate bureaucracy was bad because it’s inefficient. That’s true, but it’s not the biggest problem.

Rather, there’s a new invisible force at work in the highest ranks of corporate America, one far more nefarious. It’s the defining scam of our time — one that robs you of not only your money, but your voice and your identity.

Here’s how it works: Pretend like you care about something other than profit and power, precisely to gain more of each.  All great magicians master the art of distraction — flashing lights, smoke, beautiful women on stage. Today’s captains of industry do it by promoting progressive social values.

Lenin’s 1902 pamphlet

“What is to be done?” That’s been the cry of revolutionaries from time immemorial: the malcontents, the aggrieved, the misfits, the morally wretched.

As we sit here, six months into the disastrous Biden administration, the question is finally becoming evident to even the most politically disinterested American.

The very fact that you still must wear a slave muzzle to enter a federal building is a visible sign of your continuing humiliation and subjugation.  Proof once more that tyranny is about insisting that you conform to the most picayune and counter-factual ukases, just to illustrate your powerlessness.

So, what is to be done?

As a candidate, Joe Biden’s number one promise was to “unite” America. Yet in his first months as president, his number one priority has been to divide our country by race and gender at every turn.

There is no clearer example than the Biden administration’s new effort aimed at indoctrinating America’s schoolchildren with some of the most toxic and anti-American theories ever conceived.

It is vital for Americans to understand what this initiative would do, what drives it and, most importantly, how we can stop it.  Below is my 7-step plan to rid our schools of what is psychological abuse of our children.

Sailing off the edge of sanity

For the past year and a half of COVID, we have been told by those supposedly in the know, to “follow the science.”  Those who question the science are at best called names, like “deniers” or “racists”, and at worst, lose their jobs and reputations, and are banned from social media.

Last year’s outbreak of the Chinese coronavirus allowed the world to travel back in time to an age where sailors feared sailing off the edge of the world into a pit of monsters or nothingness.

How did we get to such a place where science can’t be questioned, at least science deemed incontrovertible by the government and media?

Here is why the “Joe Biden” regime only has a few months to live: it is caught in a squeeze between some of the greatest lies in world history, and they’re all unraveling now.

Anyway, “Joe Biden” is not really functioning as president of the US; he’s just the doddering, photo-op front-man for a kind of politburo centered around Barack Obama, and that group lives in terror of being found-out, which it will be, despite its capture of the traditional news and social media.

Big Lie No. 1 is actually a whole bundle of lies surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic.

“In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense.”

Sixth Amendment of the US Constitution

Last week, five Republican senators sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland regarding his office’s handling of January 6 protesters.

The letter revealed the senators are aware that several Capitol defendants charged with mostly nonviolent crimes are being held in solitary confinement conditions in a D.C. jail used exclusively to house Capitol detainees.

It is important to emphasize that the accused have languished for months in prison before their trials even have begun, in obvious blatant violation of the 6th Amendment.  I have been receiving letters from them or their families. Here are some. They will break your heart. This is America??
